[TenTec] Think about trading for another HF rig? ; the grass isn't always greener at the other side of the fence...

[Arthur Trampler]

I haven't used the K3 on 160, but at K5GO used it on 80 meters with an assortment of beverages, a 4-square and a single vertical.  Diversity reception proved very helpful.  That's something we sadly can't get out of an Orion.
 
It (diversity reception) really make a difference for me.

If you use the subreceiver often on the low bands, I think you might
feel differently.  The Orion subreceiver just can't handle the huge
dynamic range typically found on low band cw.
